For Caribbean countries it is an important condition for their economic development to assure a secure and reliable supply of electricity. EBS is fully aware of the important role that the electric power sector plays for the development for Suriname. As utility member of
CARILEC, EBS has better chances to benefit from the
important changes Caribbean power sectors are witnessing. This first contribution has shared knowledge and experience of proven and practical solution in the Suriname electrical sector. Added to this it highlights the developments that the Suriname power sector has undergone, and additionally gives a glimpse of expansions potentials. EBS is continually planning and implementing projects in order to improve and create supply and transportation capacity to meet Suriname’s economic growth requirements and at the same time
fulfilling the need for security of supply. The growth rate in demand for power is high (8 to 10 %) in the last 3
years and expected to progress with this pace, which is the highest compared to several other Caribbean
countries. The coming year’s developments in the power sector of Suriname will be promising and
inevitable.
Developments and Future Expansions Potential in the Electric Power System in ...Ravish P.Y. Mehairjan
Energy use in developing countries has risen more than fourfold over the past three decades and is expected to continue increasing rapidly in the future. This increase in energy use is necessary
and desirable, since energy services are essential for economic growth and improved living standards.
Electricity is one of the most important ingredients for social and economic development in Suriname.
The growth rate in Suriname is approximately 10% annually, and is higher than the demand forecast
in other countries in the region, which have typical values between 3% and 7%. There is a strong
relationship between economic growth and energy usage. Therefore electric utility’s duty is to
facilitate future growth by assuring a reliable and secured supply of electric power. In this context
there are interesting developments realized and forthcoming in the electricity sector in Suriname

RETOOLING NIGERIAS ELECTRICITY GENERATION SUB – SYSTEM FOR SUSTAINABLE GRID O...Najeem Olawale Adelakun
ABSTRACT
Experts are varied in estimating the amount of power needed for national development. One expert
estimated 297,900 MW by the year 2030 using a 13 percent Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The Power
Sector Road Map’s aspiration is 40,000 MW by the year 2020 while the preferred Vision 20:2020 target is
40GW (40,000 MW) available capacity. Vision 20:2020 further proposed that hydro sources contribute 10%
of this value; thermal, 80%; coal, 6% and renewables, 4%. However, as at December 2017, Nigeria’s total
installed generating capacity was 12,324.40 MW. In order to assess the fundamentals and proffer solutions
for the improvement of power generation to meet popular expectations, this work analyses the installed
capacities of the nation from 1986 – 1995, on the one hand and from 2007 – 2016, on the other hand using
graphical illustrations and tables. The gap between the two time phases was deliberate to create some effect.
The results show that over the years, there has been an apparent, non – challance towards systematic
development of Nigeria’s power sector. To put a check to this deteriorating condition / trend, useful
suggestions have been made

The Application of Homer Optimization Software to Investigate the Prospects o...IJECEIAES
This paper investigates the prospects and cost-effectiveness of implementation of standalone PV/wind system in sokoto state Nigeria. Daily electricity demand, yearly solar radiation and wind speed were applied to determine the optimum sizing of the renewable energy (RE) system. To design optimum RE with proper sizing of system components, meteorological data obtained from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration were applied as input for this study. In Nigeria, sokoto is a region with solar radiation of 6kWh/m 2 /day and wind speed of 5m/s at 10m above height. Using the Homer optimization software, the optimum integrated RE system is 35.21kW PV, 3 x 25kW wind turbines, 12 x 24V lead acid battery and 17.44kW converter. The system has a total capital cost of $249910.24, the replacement cost of $82914.85 and maintenance cost of $53802.80 for 25 years. Though the initial capital cost is high but the long term benefits are enormous, considering the high cost of implementing rural electrification scheme, coupled with ahike in electricity tariff. There is also a payback period of 5 years. The results imply a standalone PV/wind system is feasible in rural communities of sokoto with 100% pollution free energy system.
A Markov model of generator performance at the Kainji hydro-power station in...IJECEIAES
The Kainji hydropower station is a seven turbo-alternator station that for many years served as the base load supply for the Nigerian power grid. Over 200,000 pieces of data about the performance of the machines were used to estimate values of the failure and repair rates for each machine and a Markov steady-state model of the plant was constructed to determine the probability output of the turbines. This result showed that Kaplan turbine (KT) 12 is prone to failure compared to any other KT unit in the hydropower plant. Also, the clusters of probability that define the system state due to the different output capacities of the units show that the hydropower plant has not performed to its maximum capacity, further evaluation shows that 60% of the KT machine units are operating which is consistent with the observed robustness of the output. The model not only conforms to observations but reasonably provide a means of studying the effects of different actions that may be taken to improve the performance of hydropower plant.
Analysis of grid connected independent power plant capabilities on electricit...Najeem Olawale Adelakun
At the core of any meaningful economic activity is electric power. Absence or inadequacy of it in a nation
stalls development in that nation. In Nigeria, there is a wide gap between forecast power and actual
power generation needed for productive endeavours. For instance in July 2017, the generation peak load
forecast was 14190MW while the actual generation peak load was 4567MW. In July 2018 it was again
14190MW (forecast) but 5110MW (actual). This paper uses descriptive statistics to analyse Independent
Power Plant (IPP) capabilities spread across ten years (2009-2018). The results show that there is need
to encourage more private investors to build additional IPPs in order to increase adequate power
generation in Nigeria – especially in post-COVID-19 socio-economic crisis. Consequently, it is expected
that the wide gap between generation peak load peak load forecast and actual peak load would be
narrowed.
SMALL HYDROPOWER RELEVANCE FOR BASIC ENERGY NEED IN AFRICAIAEME Publication
Africa has abundance of various resources to make it a giant continent but due to
inadequate energy generation, full exploration of all these resources is continuously
hindered leading to inability to meet up to her full status. Hydropower (HP) is one the
energy sources that is available, renewable and sustainable but has been experiencing
low patronage. Many researchers have reported the abundance of potential sites in Africa
suitable for small hydro-utilization below 100 megawatts which can serve as isolated
systems or supply national grids. Small hydro-power (SHP) generates clean and
renewable electrical energy and is one of the most cost effective and environmental
friendly energy generation technologies available. This paper reviews the distribution of
hydro-power in Africa, its advantages, and some of the technologies involved in bringing
power through SHP to all including rural dwellers.

Techno-Economic Analysis of Biomass Integrated Electricity Generation Systemtheijes
With Ghana’s quest to accomplish a nationwide electrification where 100% of citizens will have access to electricity, various power projects are underway. However, in spite of the fact that there is an abundance of biomass resource, little attention has been paid to the potential of this resource in power generation. This paper discusses the energy potential of cocoa pod husks of which over a million tonnes are produced but wasted annually. A biomass integrated combined electricity generation system is simulated using cocoa pod husks as fuel with the aspen plus simulation software. An ORC and a bottoming Stirling Engine generator integrated into a biomass gasification plant generates 1.3 MW of power at an overall plant efficiency of 36.69%. A comparison with an existing 2.5 MW solar power plant showed that although the total capital cost for the biomass integrated combined power plant was higher, it was more economical in the long term operations as the payback time for the difference in capital cost is approximately 12.55 years. The biomass integrated power plant however produces 1.98 GWh more power than the solar power plant annually. Also it is realised that the national electricity production will be increased by 4.8% if all the cocoa pod husks are used biomass fuel to generate electricity using the same plant configuration and specifications
DETERMINATION OF KWAZULU-NATAL SEA STATE PARAMETERS FOR THE SPECTRAL FUNCTIONSIAEME Publication
While there is a challenge and conflict between the need of energy and the
production, different alternatives are explored to minimize the used of coal in the
generation of electrical energy because of the greenhouse gases emission and climate
change. Ocean wave energy is one of the important solutions to the energy needed as
South Africa is almost surrounded by ocean. This paper defined the important
parameters intervening in the ocean wave energy assessment and the design of ocean
wave energy converters for KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa by defining the
significant height and the average peak period.
Based on the analysis of ocean wave data sets of this province the significant
height of 3.854 m and peak period of 9.807 s were obtained. Those can be used to
determine the wave class based on the environmental information’s, and the
appropriate type of spectral model to use in the study of ocean wave energy converters
for energy harvesting.
